Gifts From Above, pt. 3 - Joy

Joy is what we experience when hope is realized. For many, Jesus brought about joy that they didn’t know existed. Jesus is an eternal giver of joy.Jesus promises those who experience sorrow that it won't be a permanent condition.We experience joy because Jesus went to the cross to solidify our faith, and did so for our joy.Joy is a sign that salvation has taken place.The cure for discouragement is to find joy that can be had.“Happiness is an emotion, whereas joy is more of a state of being. When you are joyful it doesn’t mean you are always giddy or happy, but it means you can appreciate moments of happiness within the bigger context of life.” - Dr. Rebekkah Frunzac
